I think it would be engineeringly cost prohibitive to make the Silver Line split at Rosslyn into Georgetown as it shares the same line as the orange going into the station. It would be much easier to make the blue line go into Georgetown and meet up over near RFK again with the Silver and Orange sharing where Orange and Blue used to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552358014685805851.post-84384821128363084842008-04-24T02:19:00.000-04:002008-04-24T02:19:00.000-04:00I agree with the Corridor Cities Line. If people a...I agree with the Corridor Cities Line. If people are going to move out to Clarksburg you want to give them as easy a trip down as possible. The way MTA has it set up now, it would be twenty-eight stops from Clarksburg to Metro Center. Given the choice, I would drive.<BR/><BR/>I'd ask, though, that you consider more extensions into the northeast suburbs - along Route 29 in Montgomery County towards Burtonsville and Columbia. This would be a feasible extension of your Baby Blue Line, with stops at Four Corners, White Oak, Calverton, Briggs Chaney, Burtonsville, and so on. Or an alignment that swung east from Calverton towards Konterra and Laurel (extending the Green Line? It's been <A HREF="http://www.justupthepike.com/2006/09/green-line-and-developer-green_28.html" REL="nofollow">proposed before"</A>.)<BR/><BR/>I'd also say that your SE Light Rail line should connect with as many other lines as possible since Nat'l Harbor is a major destination - not to mention, of course, that many people in Southeast commute towards parts of Northern Virginia and Montgomery County that would currently require at least two transfers to reach.<BR/><BR/>That aside, lovely map. I know I'm not adept enough with the computer to make one myself.Dan Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594208011755406956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552358014685805851.post-50305039848002728462008-04-22T10:11:00.000-04:002008-04-22T10:11:00.000-04:00Lots of great ideas.

I'll post a link as soon as my server stops acting up :)<BR/><BR/>There's no good reason to run the Silver Line on Mass Ave east of Union Station instead of on H Street. That part of Capitol Hill is completely built out, filled with historic buildings that can't be changed, people who don't want new development, and few stores or other reasons for visitors to go there. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, H Street is a major commercial corridor, is developing quickly, has many nearby parcels ripe for development, and would greatly benefit from heavy rail transit to bring shoppers in from other parts of the city.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of diverting the line south to meet Farragut North better, though.<BR/><BR/>R. Michael's idea of running the baby blue line near the State Department is a great one; also, a stop there could serve the Kennedy Center, especially if they build the plaza over the E Street expressway that they want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552358014685805851.post-72153189788602541712008-04-20T07:50:00.000-04:002008-04-20T07:50:00.000-04:00This map is so ugly it's beautiful...some thoughts...This map is so ugly it's beautiful...some thoughts...<BR/>I like how the CCT is not one meandering line from Shady Grove to Clarksburg but that it uses Shady Grove as its central point to get to both Kentlands and Clarksburg faster.<BR/><BR/>Your Baby Blue line should go closer to the State Department (21st between E and C Sts. NW), it's criminal that no subway stop has been planned to go there throughout Metro's history.<BR/><BR/>And is that a regional rail line between Farragut West, Metro Center and Archives or a pedestrian connection? I guess it just looks a bit confusing to me.<BR/><BR/>Washington has a neighborhood called the West End? Never knew that...<BR/><BR/>Beltway Line is heavy-rail ;-)Reza Michael Farhoodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049389989376563692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552358014685805851.post-16966567840944536742008-04-20T07:44:00.000-04:002008-04-20T07:44:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Reza Michael Farhoodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049389989376563692noreply@blogger.com
